Q11
When we migrate from dark to light, we fail to see for sometime but after a time visibility becomes normal. It is an example of
A accommodation
B adaptation
C mutation
D photoperiodism
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

(b) It takes some time for rhodopsin to split into scotopsin and retinal and release of transmitter passing nerve impulse.

This is a case of adaptation.

Q12
Cornea transplant in humans is almost never rejected. This is because
A its cells are least penetrable by bacteria
B it has no blood supply
C it is composed of enucleated cells
D it is a non-living layer
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

(b) Cornea transplant in humans is almost never rejected. This is because it has no blood supply.

Q13
Acute vision is present in
A vulture
B shark
C bat
D frog
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

(a) Vulture, some other birds and man have acute vision.

Acute bird vision derives from the retina fovea that is densely packed with photoreceptor cones.

Q14
Which one of the following is the correct difference between Rod Cells and Cone Cells of our retina? Rod cells function in poor light, Cone cells function in colour vision and detailed vision in bright light
A Visual acuity: Rod-High, Cone-Low
B Visual pigment: Rod-Iodopsin, Cone-Rhodopsin
C Overall function: Rod-Vision in poor light, Cone-Colour vision and detailed vision in bright light
D Distribution: Rod-More concentrated in retina, Cone-Evenly distributed all over
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

(c) Rod cells contain the pigment rhodopsin and are essential for vision in dim light.

Cone cells are specialized to transmit information about colour and are responsible for the visual acuity of the eye in bright light.

Q15
Alzheimer disease in humans is associated with the deficiency of:
A glutamic acid
B acetylcholine
C gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA)
D dopamine
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

(b) Alzheimer disease in humans is associated with the deficiency of acetylcholine.

Acetylcholine plays a role in skeletal muscle movement, as well as in the regulation of smooth muscle and cardiac muscle.

Q16
The purplish red pigment rhodopsin contained in the rods type of photoreceptor cells of the human eye, is a derivative of:
A vitamin B1B_1
B vitamin CC
C vitamin DD
D vitamin AA
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

(d) Rhodopsin contained in the rod type of photoreceptor cells of human eye is a derivative of vitamin A.

Q17
Which part of the human ear plays no role in hearing as such but is otherwise very much required?
A Eustachian tube
B Organ of corti
C Vestibular apparatus
D Ear ossicles
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

(c) Vestibular apparatus is a part of inner ear which has no role in hearing but responsible for the maintenance of balance of the body and posture.

Q18
Which one of the following statements is not correct about rhodopsin?
A Retinal is the light absorbing portion of visual photo pigments.
B In retina the rods have the photopigment rhodopsin while cones have three different photopigments.
C Retinal is a derivative of Vitamin C.
D Rhodopsin is the purplish red protein present in rods only.
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

(c) Retinal is a derivative of vitamin A.

Retinal is a polyene chromophore, and bound to proteins called opsins, is the chemical basis of animal vision.

Q19
In mammalian eye, the fovea is the center of the visual field, where:
A the optic nerve leaves the eye
B only rods are present
C more rods than cones are found
D high density of cones occur, but has no rods.
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

(d) Fovea centralis is the most sensitive part of retina. It has high density of cones, but rods are not found.

Q20
A gymnast is able to balance his body upside down even in the total darkness because of :
A Vestibular apparatus
B Tectorial membrane
C Organ of corti
D Cochlea
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

(a) Vestibular apparatus has specific receptors called crista and macula to maintain the balance and posture of body.
